Jizhou, Changshan Guojing Chengcheng, in the secret room of the Zhongshan Mansion.

"Your Excellency is ......," Zhang Yan asked suspiciously, looking at the man sitting in front of him. The man looked to be in his early thirties, but his eyes were attentive and he had a hint of gentleness and elegance, and he didn't look like an ordinary messenger.

"Under the command of General Long Xiang and Xiahe Prefecture, don't drive Sima Lang, the word Boda." Sima Lang said with a chuckle, without the slightest worry or fear in his tone.

"It turned out to be Sima Beijia! Please forgive me for the loss of our company. When Zhang Yan heard this, she hurriedly apologized, but her posture was very low. If people who don't know see it, I'm afraid they will think that Zhang Yan's status is much lower than Sima Lang.

"Duke Zhongshan doesn't have to be like this, it's an eventful time now, Lang came secretly, it really shouldn't be known by too many people." Sima Lang said with a smile. Although he also knew that Zhang Yan was just casually polite, he still took the initiative to speak for Zhang Yan.

Hearing this, a hint of discoloration appeared in Zhang Yan's eyes, but it was fleeting. "I don't know if Sima Bei came here this time, does he already believe in the sincerity of my father?" Zhang Yan asked respectfully.

"Back to Zhongshan Gong, this matter is really important, if it is only based on Zhongshan Gong's words, I am afraid it will be really difficult to make General Lu believe it......" Sima Lang shook his head and said.

"I don't know what General Lu means......" Zhang Yan looked at Sima Lang with flickering eyes and asked in a low tone.

"Hostage! General Lü hoped that the Duke of Zhongshan would be able to hand over his wife and children to Lang and bring them back to Bingzhou, so that General Lü would naturally believe in the sincerity of the Duke of Zhongshan. Sima Lang stroked his beard and said, "Besides, throughout the ages, this kind of surrender is also a kind of convention, and it is also a convention to offer hostages, I believe that it will not make Zhongshan Gong feel too much, right?" ”

"Haha~ This kind of request is very reasonable! How can it be excessive? Zhang Yan laughed when she heard this, but then she changed her words and sighed with a sad face, "It's just that now my father's wife and children are all in Nanpi, but he is really powerless!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan said with a hint of resentment in his tone, "It's been seven years since my father surrendered to that Yuan Shao!" Although he has not made any contributions, he has not made any mistakes in governing the place over the years! But what about Yuan Shao? But I have never returned my father's wife and children to me, obviously I don't believe my father at all! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan looked at Sima Lang and said in a deep voice, "This time, my father is willing to defect to King Zhao, and it is precisely because I want to defect to a master who is really willing to trust my father and will not always doubt my father!" For this reason, the father-in-law did not hesitate to abandon his wife and children......" When he said this, Zhang Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes revealed a burst of killing intent.

"But there are no hostages...... Sima Lang groaned a little tangled when he heard this, and then put forward an idea again, "Otherwise, can the Duke of Zhongshan arrest and send Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan Shao, to the state?" ”

"I'm sorry! That Yuan Xi returned to Zhongshan not long ago. Zhang Yan said in a deep voice when she heard this.

"Huh? Returned to Zhongshan Country? He wasn't ordered to come ......here," Sima Lang looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, his tone with a meaning.

However, Zhang Yan didn't seem to hear Sima Lang's subconscious meaning, and still said respectfully, "It is said that there is news from Youzhou, but my father doesn't know what it is." Sima Beijia also knew that Bengong had always been distrusted under Na Yuan Shao, although Bengong had asked Na Yuan Xi, but he did not get any answer. ”

"That's ......" Sima Lang groaned when he heard this, and his expression kept changing.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan was also silent, and after a long while, he suddenly got up, walked to the wooden frame on the side, and took out a few pieces of parchment from it.

"This is ......" Seeing Zhang Yan's behavior, Sima Lang was still a little curious, but when he saw the parchment he handed over, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Sima don't drive, my father also knows that if there is no guarantee, it will be difficult to trust General Lu. Therefore, Bengong handed over these topographic maps to General Lu as a little sincerity of Bengong. Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.

"Hmm......" Sima Lang whispered in response, constantly glancing at the topographical maps. These topographic maps, not only the various terrains of Changshan Country, but even the terrain of Montenegro on which the Montenegrin army depends, and the defense maps of various cities, are all marked on them. It can be said that based on these topographic maps alone, it can be regarded as taking half of Changshan Country.

"Although it seems that there is some distrust of Zhongshan Gong when he says this, but this matter is very important, and Lang still hopes to be able to check it with his own eyes." Sima Lang looked at Zhang Yan and said in a deep voice, although his tone was respectful and polite, but with a trace of firmness that could not be refused.

"This is natural, but because there are still Yuan Xi's personal soldiers in the city, it may be necessary to grieve Sima Beijia to dress up." Zhang Yan nodded directly without thinking about it when she heard this.

Two days later, Sima Lang, who had determined the authenticity of the topographic map, returned to Bingzhou, and a few days later, Yuan Xi, who had received news from Zhang Yan, rushed back from Zhongshan.

"Xianyi, will Lu Bu really believe it?" As soon as she saw Yuan Xi, Zhang Yan couldn't wait to ask.

"Hehe, don't worry. If Brother Zi'an had already expressed such sincerity, but they still didn't believe it, then I'm afraid they wouldn't have sent someone to win over Brother Zi'an. Yuan Xi chuckled when he heard this.

"I just heard that there is a person named Tian Feng under Lu Bu's command, who was originally under Han Fu's command, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Jizhou......" Zhang Yan was still a little worried when he heard this.

"Don't worry, those topographic maps have been carefully prepared by Xi, and there is nothing fraudulent in them." Yuan Xi chuckled when he heard this.

"It's all true?!" Zhang Yan was immediately shocked when he heard this, in his opinion, at most, only the labels around Jingcheng and the area around Bingzhou were true. It was precisely because of this that he was not afraid of Sima Lang's personal inspection.

"That's natural, but although it is said that there is no fraud......," Yuan Xi said this, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the other side, when Sima Lang returned to Jinyang, Lu Bu immediately invited Tian Feng to discuss.

"Hmm...... Zhang Yan's statement is not unreasonable, from various intelligence, it shows that Yuan Shao has indeed been wary of Zhang Yan. As for that Yuan Xi, in recent times, Youzhou has frequently increased troops, and Guo Junshou has also said that Yuan Tan may plan to storm Yanmen......" Tian Feng groaned, "As for these topographic maps, they are indeed true." In the past, Xiaguan was under the command of Han Envoy Jun, in order to crusade against that Zhang Yan, but he also studied the terrain of Changshan Country. Although many places are a bit blurred these days......"

"Then according to Mr. Yuanhao's intentions, that Zhang Yan is credible?" Hearing this, Lu Bu asked in a low tone.

"Credible, but not all!" Tian Feng replied in a deep voice.
